Cranidia (cf. Pl. 7, fig. 1, Pl. 8, fig. 15) become broader overall, more strongly sagittally vaulted, and slightly less strongly transversely vaulted; the tuberculate sculpture becomes finer and more densely spaced (particularly noticeable on the fixigenae), with more tiny intercalating tubercles appearing on the glabella, and the spinose tubercles near the furrows become slightly shorter (cf. Pl. 7, fig. 1, Pl. 8, fig. 23); cranidial furrows all become shallower and slightly longer or wider; the anterior border elongates slightly; the palpebro-ocular ridges become differentiated into ridge and lobe, and the lobes widen; the glabella widens and becomes less strongly convex (tr.) but more strongly convex (sag.); the posterior fixigenae become longer and wider; the posterior border and LO develop a posterior fringe of elongate tubercles; and the genal spines shorten relative to overall cranidial size.
